Just annotations of little "how to's", so I know I can find how to do something I've already done when I need to do it again, in case I don't remember anymore, which is not unlikely. Hopefully they can be useful to others, but I can't guarantee that it will work, or that it won't even make things worse.

Updated 04-25-2025 at 06:40 PM by the dsc

Uses imagemagick, ffprobe, and ffpmeg.

Code:
#!/bin/bash


[[ -z "$1" ]] && echo "Usage: $0 input.webp" && exit 1


if ! file "${1}" | grep "Web/P image" ; then
echo "File $1 is not a webp" ; exit 1 ; fi

if (( `identify "${1}" | wc -l` < 2 )) ; then 
echo "File $1 is not an animated webp" ; exit 1 ; fi

I've made a new config file for these sensors, more or less as shown in this thread on arch linux' forums, just adapting to a mere dual core, whereas the one in the thread seems to be a bazillion cores or something.

Shellcheck with "less" preserving the colored formatted output

Posted 10-25-2024 at 09:56 PM by the dsc (linux-related notes)

Code:
#!/bin/bash

# Create a temporary file
temp_file=$(mktemp /tmp/shellcheck.XXXXXX)

# Run shellcheck with script, directing output to the temporary file
script -q -c "shellcheck ${1}" "$temp_file"

# Display the output using less, preserving colors
less -r "$temp_file"

# Clean up the temporary file
rm "$temp_file"
I had an earlier version of this, an one-liner...

Openbox' rc.xml can do some conditional evaluations that may allow for keybindings to react different depending on the window that's focused

Posted 10-21-2024 at 10:31 AM by the dsc (linux-related notes)
Updated 10-21-2024 at 10:32 AM by the dsc

I think that I might have wanted to be possible for one thing or another, several times ever since I've started using Openbox (a long time ago, almost right before the final version came out), but I thought such thing would most likely involve some external script to handle most of it, which I don't recall whether I even ever tried to implement for anything. It would have been probably something very specifically developed to a given use-case rather than something more readily adaptable to more...

Wrapper-script to launch a browser in private/incognito mode if keys control or shift are being held (thought for Openbox menus)

While one can do something even more efficient with pure keybindings, or maybe merely first launching the normal window and then a private one, I thought that it was interesting. AFAIK it can't be done purely on Openbox' menu's functionalities alone.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
xinput query-state 9 2>/dev/null | grep "key\[50\]=down\|key\[62\]=down\|key\[37\]=down\|key\[105\]=down" && incognito="--incognito"

echo ${incognito/--} | aosd_cat
